Transfer

In addition to your SUNY Application or Common Application, the following materials are required:

• Official college transcripts from all institutions attended
  • Official transcripts must arrive at the Office of Admissions from the college in a sealed envelope or through a certified electronic process. Photocopies and faxes will not be accepted.
• Official final high school transcript or GED/TASC Score Report
• Official SAT or ACT scores may also be requested if you have earned less than 24 college credits and have been out of high school for less than five years

A gap statement may be requested to explain what a student was doing during times that are not accounted for on an application. (When they were not enrolled in classes, or there are semesters that are not accounted for on a college transcript)  You can email or mail a statement to your Admissions Counselor that explains what you were doing during semesters that you were not attending college after high school graduation and excluding summers.

Mid-term grades may be requested when a student has earned less than 24 college credits, is academically borderline, or is in their first semester at a new institution.

Mid-Term grades can be mailed, emailed, or faxed using the Mid-Term Grade Report Form

• A mid-term grade report or web grades provided by your institution are also acceptable if actual letter grades are provided; we cannot accept P/F for Pass/Fail or S/U for Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory.
